I so wish republicans had run on your "US workers are lazy and helpless" message.
The labor isn't essential. The problem is a society that's become lazy and helpless.
He is a retired sponge soaking up social security and Medicare money while calling the entirety of the rest of working US society with a 4% unemployment rate lazy. You know, the ones paying his bills and subsidizing his life.I so wish republicans had run on your "US workers are lazy and helpless" message.
I think the problem is more that his personal political desires and reality are in conflict so he’s trying to find a way to remake reality instead of changing his mind.He is a retired sponge soaking up social security and Medicare money while calling the entirety of the rest of working US society with a 4% unemployment rate lazy.

I think the problem is he's just a piece of shit trying to justify his shittiness, like all those piece of shit Trump voters.I think the problem is more that his personal political desires and reality are in conflict so he’s trying to find a way to remake reality instead of changing his mind.
‘Deport immigrants’ and ‘labor shortage’ are in conflict. It’s a lot more comforting if you just pretend there’s a secret, untapped pool of non-immigrant labor waiting in the wings because then you don’t have to admit conservative immigration policy is dumb.

Florida did a lite version of what Trump wants to do and surprise surprise there are labor shortages, prices rose, and businesses are flirting with inviability. Conservatives are really willing to press the self destruct buttons on their economies.
Austin's apartment construction rate is 3rd highest in the nation
Austin has been in such an building boom that even a slowing rate of new apartment buildings is still one of the fastest in the country. According to a new insight report from RentCafe, the Austin metro area has the third highest new apartment construction rate nationwide, after previously...austin.culturemap.com
@fskimospy
What a surprise. Austin is building out at the third highest rate in the country and its rent is dropping.
More housing needs to happen in the northeast USA. There are inherent challenges in raising more houses to an already densely populated region, but it is doable. For instance, in the last 10 years, I've noticed more apartment complexes (condos?) surrounding the King of Prussia area in PA.
You want to build further these apartment complexes further out from the major city centers, to spread out the population a bit. Public transportation into and out of the new housing areas is a must, to help alleviate traffic. And the apartment complexes need to be designed so that there is a community center, where people can do indoor things like play basketball in inclement weather, as well as access for outdoor activities. If you design it right, it builds a better community that promotes growth. What you don't want is to just cram people like sardines into a high rise building.
Jersey suburbanites are not too much better but the Long Island folks add another level of rabid madness to their hate. It's insane there are LIRR stations that don't have any real density right near them, and in fact often have parking lots and total wasted space.Some of suburbia is more amenable than others to adding housing. Long Island residents would rather see NYC taken out by hydrogen bombs before agreeing to letting apartments get built.

Aw, did it hurt your feelings to have your mental laziness pointed out? Don't worry, it wasn't a secret, everyone already knew.The village idiot speaks again.
And yet ostensibly liberal people flip out when you try to increase supply because reasons.People get pushed down the housing ladder until they fall off it in some sick game of musical chairs, because we, as a society, have collectively decided to restrict supply in the places people want to live. And ultimately, the people really taking it on the chin are those at the bottom:
What I Learned Reporting in Cities That Take Belongings From Homeless People
Some cities take people’s belongings — ignoring their own policies and court orders — and then fail to store them. Our reporting shows there are more effective and compassionate ways to deal with homeless encampments.www.propublica.org“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps
Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so they could explain what they lost in their own words.projects.propublica.org
I don’t want to like this because it’s so bad but…yes.
So, tell us about your "labor" you stupid fuck. Dawn to dusk doing stoop labor in some farmer's field in a state that doesn't even mandate water breaks, or dawn to dusk in a construction job, building homes you can't afford, or laying down asphalt on a street in on a 90 degree day. Tell us how you are not the "lazy and helpless" asshole!The labor isn't essential. The problem is a society that's become lazy and helpless.
The practice of using undefined terms in sales is time honored."luxury" is just a marketing term anyway. It simply means new for like 95% of rental projects. I've toured "luxury" buildings that boast the finest grey vinyl plank floors and base model stainless steel appliances money can buy.
For sure. Though, having lived in old crappy stuff and newer mass-market developments, I'd prefer the latter. Having plugs in convenient spots, properly sized kitchen space, modern heating/cooling, and modern fire standards is pretty awesome. I like not living in an old triple decker, where every year, a few just decide to go up in flames thanks to following the wonderful fire standards of 1910."luxury" is just a marketing term anyway.
